Txiki is really bad on negotiations. He should follow some courses on how to negotiate. We always sell our players for peanuts and are bullied when we want to buy one. Maybe get Overmars, at least he knows how it have to be done.
Absolute bollocks. We never sell a player we don't want to, never have done.
The ones we do, invariably, are on big salaries, so clubs lowball to factor that in, knowing we would rather get them off our books.
Leroy will be the first perfect storm player. Low wages, someone we don't really want to sell, yet can cash in as a result.
Kelechi £25m - bought for £300k.
Enes Unal £12m - bought for £800k
Zinchenko bought for £1.5m - now worth at least ten times that amount.
Raheem Sterling bought for £49m - worth three times that.
Oh, and a relatively unknown kid called Sane, bought for £37m, possibly being sold at a £60m profit.
Yep, Txiki really does need to learn how to negotiate.
